Period brass knobs & hardware And Antique Cabinet Hardware
Hardware that was handmade in the 70s (or sooner when primitive sand casting was done and brass, bronze and iron were mainly used) is a great way of accessorizing the house. Architectural salvages can be a source of finding antique or period hardware for your decorating needs. Old and unused homes are a good place to find antique hardware like brass door handles, hinges and door knobs. Even furniture and bath tubs are used from these salvages to decorate other homes. This is a profitable business and for people looking for an antique touch to their homes the resources from salvage companies like the Pasadena Architectural Salvage,located in Los Angeles or West Roxbury Historical Society, Located in Boston, MA is a good start.
Antique hardware fits any type of home, be it Colonial, Victorian or for that matter a modern home. Using antique brass door pulls, period brass hinges and old-time decorative hardware  are a good way to give your home a unique look. It is very difficult to find antique brass knobs & hardware or architectural brass hinges, hooks & other kind of hardware but there are companies which can produce exact copies of these period pieces to suit the customers tastes and these are called antique reproduced hardware.
Antique reproductions of brass handles, brass door plates and commercially built steel or brass door hinges are available in the market to give a home the distinctive look.
